I believe in letting karma do its thing. What comes around goes around.
If I could predict the trends, they would already be there.
Exude unconditional confidence.
We can wear whatever we want and get away with it. Just be confident about being who you are and dressing for that person.
I want to say to anyone who works in a drone workplace, raise the bar! There's no reason why you have to dress to the lowest common denominator.
When someone new walks into a room, the first thing we notice about that person is probably their gender. And the second things is what they're wearing. And based on what they're wearing, we start making certain assumptions about them.
Whether it's fashion or it's home, it's all about style. The clothes we wear send a message about how we are perceived, and our home does the same thing.
At all costs, avoid clothes that are too big. The more volume your clothes have, the more volume you appear to have.
Life is a big collaboration - and when you're tackling something that is painful and troubling and is causing you such desperate grief that you think life's not worth living - you need to reach out. To people who will reach back.
Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.
I will always be there in the wings saying, 'You need to be good to people. You need to take your work seriously. You need to have integrity. You need to work with what you've got.
Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it’s your shoulders or your long legs!
There's nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out. My apartment really is my haven. It's a nest where I go to heal.
If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.
